Sascha: The attempt to ban parliament's right to pass directed-spending bills—bills that contain provisions specifically funding the favorite projects of some powerful politicians—is antidemocratic. Our nation's constitution requires that money be drawn from our treasury only when so stipulated by laws passed by parliament, the branch of government most directly representative of the citizens.This requirement is based on the belief that exercising the power to spend public resources involves the ultimate exercise of state authority and that therefore_________.
Which of the following most logically completes Sascha's argument?
designating funding specifically for the favorite projects of some powerful politicians should be considered antidemocratic
the right to exercise such a power should belong exclusively to the branch of government most directly representative of the citizens
exercising the power to spend public resources is in most cases—but not all—protected by the constitution
modifications to any spending bills should be considered expenditures authorized by law
only officials who are motivated by concerns for reelection should retain that power
conclusion: 禁止国会通过bill的做法是反民主的。
因为宪法要求只有国会(市民的直接代表)通过的法律明确要求,钱才能从国库中提取。这又是因为行使公众资源的权利涉及行使到州的权利,因此
应该在市民的直接代表和行使州的权利之间搭桥
谢谢!

逻辑链:国家根本信念是:花费公共资源涉及国家根本权力的行使→(只有议会才拥有权力)→宪法要求只有当议会通过法律之后,钱才可以被使用→取缔议会通过法案的权力是反民主的
推理类型:因果推理
前提:实施花费公共资源的权力包括国家权力的行使
结论:只有当议会(最代表公民的政府部门)通过法律之后,国库才可以被花费
题目类型:加强
B:正确:实施这种权力应该完全属于最代表民众的政府部门(确立因果联系:信念认为花钱涉及根本权力,且只有议会才有权力,所以宪法要求只有议会通过法律之后,才可以花钱)
exclusively 仅仅 而不是除了
A重复文章第一句话,这句话是general的结论。但这道题不是要求总结general的观点,而是要求解释why exercising the power to spend public resources involves the ultimate exercise of state authority
B翻译:只有直接代表citizen的government能够行使这项权力
搭桥:为什么议会才有权,对其进行解释
其实就是在问你这个requirement什么意思。
This requirement:Our nation's constitution requires that money be drawn from our treasury only when so stipulated by laws passed by parliament, the branch of government most directly representative of the citizens.
based on the belief that。。。重述了这个requirement。
跟原文句子一样
不应该禁止,因为议会好,禁止了不民主,因为议会代表了民主
试图禁止议会通过定向支出法案的权利 - 包含专门资助一些强大政治家最喜欢的项目的条款的法案 - 是反民主的。 我们国家的宪法要求只有在议会通过的法律规定的情况下才能从我们的国库中提取资金,议会是最直接代表公民的政府部门。这一要求基于这样一种信念,即行使公共资源的权力涉及最终行使国家权力,因此_________。
只有B和民主建立了联系
